Lesson 12: Information Technology in Support of Student-Centered Learning Classroom

The Traditional Classroom


When we say traditional classroom what comes into your mind? Traditional classroom is where the teacher is the center of the classroom. They are the ones who have the authority to fill their pupils' knowledge. The students are just listener and all they have to do is to pay attention to what their teacher have always saying. 






The SCL classroom



The SCL or student-centered learner is the opposite of the traditional classroom, in this learning process the students are working in the classroom they have the authority to do what they want, and the teacher serves only as a facilitator. the teacher let her student to discover things through interdependence or even through themselves individually. 


In our modern world and with this type of learning process the ICT have a big factor in developing one's skill and creativity in the way of what they want.
Generally the new school classroom environment is characterized by student individually or in group:
· Performing computer word processing for text or graph presentation.
· Preparing power-point presentation
· Searching for information on the internet
· Brainstorming on ideas, problems and project plans
· As needed, the teacher facilitating instruction, also giving individual instruction to serve individual needs.





But even though SCL is much indeed, most of the teachers used a collaboration of traditional way of learning and the SCL, and so by this the teaching and learning process have much greater success.




Reflection:

Both Traditional and Student centered learning process have advantages and disadvantages. Like on Traditional Learning process its disadvantage is that it is boring on the side of the student because they only sit and listen to their teachers instruction. And the good news is that in new learning process known as the SCL the student will never be board because they are going out of the box, meaning they could express what they what to do. On the other hand the disadvantage of SCL is that there is less management in the classroom unlike in the traditional classroom, all sits are organized and the class is well arranged.
